GAO discusses whether the District: (1) met the 29 performance goals that it scheduled for completion by the end of fiscal year 2000 that Congress chose from the more than 400 performance measures contained in the Mayor's fiscal year 2001 budget request, and (2) provided evidence that the performance data are sufficiently reliable for measuring progress toward goals. Mayor Williams' performance management system contains many--but not all--of the elements used successfully by leading organizations. The District could improve the usefulness of its mandated annual performance plans and reports by ensuring that the District government's most significant performance goals are included in both the annual performance plan and the annual performance report that federal law requires the Mayor to send to Congress every year. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-96T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-96T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-96T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-96T.pdf GAO-01-96T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-96T Testimony GAO-01-96T; District of Columbia Government: Progress and Challenges; Strategic planning Budget administration Municipal governments Private sector practices Reporting requirements Performance measures Productivity in government Data integrity District of Columbia Public Law 103-373 Public Law 106-113
